Prologue to "Black Night" on 2014 Mar. 2nd

[Legend] Doomsday.
The sound of the bell that tells the end of the Metal Resistance
resounds from the giant magic circle. It is the time of fate...
The spirit of the Metal which burns in the jet-black darkness
becomes the crimson flame and burns down everything.

The time left...
is little...

[i] About "The Time Left"

BABYMETAL started as one of the sub groups of Sakura Gakuin. At the end of Legend "Z" in 2013, two months before Miss Suzuka graduated from Sakura Gakuin, Amuse Inc. announced the "limited-time" extension of BABYMETAL's activity, but the ending time was not announced.

Towards the Budokan concerts, 'he' again suggested as if BABYMETAL ended at Budokan on several occasions. Many fans didn't take it seriously, but some fans thought it could happen because it becomes both idol groups and rock bands to disband at the height of their activity. All fans expected some (shocking) announcement should come at the end of "Black Night".

Towards the end of March 2015, 'he' did no such suggestion though it is the time for Miss Moa & Miss Yui to graduate from Sakura Gakuin and so it is more likely than March 2014.
